A closing team is so important in the NBA. The last seven minutes is what you are always coaching to get to.

Doug Collins

I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided.

I think for me, or for anyone who plays the quarterback position, it's almost an unspoken word when you think about leadership.
